Grave Robber: Beginnings Fusion Hydra Cypress
Chapter 201: The Ancient City Reveals Its True Appearance
The huge human face slowly turned around, and a pair of big eyes stared at the crowd.
This strange scene made everyone stop.
"What's going on? It's really a monster!"
The fat man felt his scalp tingling, and raised his gun to shoot.
Ji Changsheng stopped him.
"Why are you panicking? It's just a statue."
After saying that, he strode over.
The others had to follow him tremblingly.
When they got closer, they saw that it was just a stone sculpture of a human face, just as Ji Changsheng said.
This stone sculpture was on a huge stone, and the huge stone swayed slowly from side to side with the flow of the river, creating the illusion that the human face was moving.
After people saw it clearly, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Wuxie looked at the huge stone and said in confusion.
"How could this stone weighing dozens of meters and not wood be swayed by the river water?"
Seeing this, the fat man rolled up his sleeves and climbed up the huge stone.
"We'll know if we go up and take a look. What's the point of guessing there?"
He is a man of action, and he does what he says.
But when he turned his head and looked at the other side of the boulder, his face suddenly changed and he blurted out.
"Damn! What the hell is this?"
Although his tone was exaggerated, his behavior was not too panic, and it seemed that there was no danger.
Others also climbed up the boulder and looked inside, and their faces changed.
It turned out that behind the boulder was a row of dilapidated city walls. This boulder was actually part of the city wall. For some reason, it broke away from the wall and became an independent part.
There were many thick vines connecting the boulder and the city wall. It was these vines that pulled the boulder and prevented it from floating away. Under the impact of the river water, the boulder swayed left and right, which caused the weird scene just now.
But what really shocked people was that there was a lot of white things in the crack between the boulder and the city wall.
A closer look showed that they were all snake skins!
Snake skins are the skins shed by snakes.
These snake sloughs filled the entire crack, and the number was extremely astonishing.
The fat man picked up a snake slough, pulled it open and compared it. The appearance of this snake slough just matched that of the cockscomb snake!
"Damn, it was left by those snakes!"
"We really broke into someone else's nest!"
When snakes shed their skin, they consume a lot of physical energy and are very weak after shedding their skin.
So snakes will find an absolutely safe place to shed their skin, which is their nest!
The pile of snake sloughs in front of them shows one thing, that people have entered the nest of the cockscomb snake!
Ji Changsheng smiled lightly.
"This shows that we are not wrong, let's go."
The fat man stuck out his tongue, threw away the snake slough in his hand, followed the team and continued to move forward.
With Wu Sanxing leading the way, they don't have to get lost, they just need to keep those snakes in mind at all times.
The crowd walked along the river bank, encountering more and more ancient buildings along the way. Although most of them are submerged in the water, it can be confirmed that this is the thousand-year-old city-Talmudos!
After walking for more than an hour, the river became more and more turbulent and the river surface became much wider.
Wu Xie looked at it and said happily.
"The terrain here is getting lower and lower, and all the floods converge here, which means we are getting closer and closer to the center!"
The fat man looked at the roofs of the ancient buildings on the river and couldn't help asking.
"Mr. Ji, San Ye, the entrance to the underground palace is under the river?"
"Do we have to dive down?"
Wu Sansheng laughed.
"Why, are you scared?"
The fat man immediately retorted.
"What's there to be afraid of! Fatty has even been to the big tomb under the sea, so what's this little river water?"
"It's just that I find it strange that the nests of those snakes are under the water, won't they be drowned?"
Wu Sansheng's eyes moved when he heard the three words "undersea tomb".
He was about to explain, but he saw a stone tower appear on the river bank in front of him.
Most of the stone tower was under the water, and only the top of the tower was exposed above the water.
The fat man's eyes lit up when he saw it.
"Here comes life!"
"Ancient pagodas are all religious buildings, and they either contain the bones of eminent monks or valuable antiques!"
Wu Xie reminded him.
"More than three thousand years ago, the Buddha was not even born yet."
The fat man strode away and said excitedly.
"Who cares? There must be good stuff inside!"
Ji Changsheng smiled slightly and did not stop him.
Everyone hurriedly followed.
When they got closer, they saw that although only a small part of the stone pagoda was exposed, it was still as high as two floors. The top of the pagoda was pointed and carved with strange patterns.
The fat man walked around the top of the pagoda and found a narrow doorway, and immediately went in.
After a while, a scream from the fat man was heard from inside.
"There are snakes here!"
When people heard this, they all raised their guns nervously.
The young man moved and was about to save people.
As a result, before he moved, the fat man rolled and crawled out.
But there was no cockscomb snake chasing him.
The fat man took a breath and raised something in his hand.
"Look, this is all here!"
It was a snake skull!
"This tower is full of snake bones, I don't know how many there are!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he was talking about dead snakes.
Wu Xie took the skull and looked at it, and couldn't help but say.
"Could it be that after the demise of the Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West, these crested snakes and birds occupied these ancient buildings as nests?"
The fat man spat and said.
"Who cares? Anyway, with these snakes, it will be difficult for us to touch the treasure."
"Mr. Ji, you have to think of a way."
Ji Changsheng smiled slightly, said nothing, and strode forward.
After walking for a distance, there were more and more stone towers on the river, forming a dense forest of towers.
Seeing this scene, Wuxie couldn't help it.
"It's really strange. The tower forest is a Buddhist building, but at the time of the Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West, Buddhism had not yet been introduced to China."
"Why did the ancient country in the Western Regions more than 3,000 years ago build so many stone towers?"
The fat man thought for a while and said.
"It may be a great archaeological discovery, Mr. Ji, if we report this to the Archaeological Bureau, will we get a reward?"
Ji Changsheng laughed.
"There are indeed many things here that can shock the archaeological community."
"These towers are nothing, the real fun is still to come!"
The fat man blinked and shook his head.
"No, if the archaeological bureau knew we were here to steal gold, we would probably be arrested and put in jail."
"Let's just keep quiet and make a fortune."
As he was talking, a thick smoke suddenly rose from the woods in the distance, hundreds of meters high!
The fat man saw the smoke and shouted.
"Oh no, there's a fire!"
"Someone set the fire!"
After the young man looked at it, his expression changed slightly.
"It's not arson, it's a warning!"
Everyone took a closer look and found that the smoke was orange!
